Engage in multi-player action by adding one or more of these compatible remote controls to your gaming system. Comfortable ergonomic design and highly responsive circuitry give you accurate control. Compatible with standard remote accessories like covers and add on modules such as the Wii motion plus..

Cons: Every time you need touch button more times to let Wii accepted this controller as second controller. I can not make sure which touch is efficient.

The quality of the product like this is random. You are lucky if it works very well. But don't forget it's cheapper.

too cheap

Pros: remote is the same shape as a wii remote

Cons: the spring for the A button at the top doesn't work like a regular nintendo remote. It doesn't come back in place and sometimes get stuck so you can click fast on the A button and therefore is useless for certain games.

by Monoprice AdministratorHello Luc,

Thank you for your review and my apologies for the issues you have experienced with PID 5981. Unfortunately, it sounds like you may have received a defective product.Now if you'd like, I can help setup an RMA for a replacement. If you would like me to proceed with the RMA, all I would need is the order # this controller is under. Sorry again for the trouble and thanks in advance!

No problem and thanks! Now your RMA # is: RMA990279900. A returns department representative will contact you by E-mail which will include an RMA # along with instructions to follow as well as doing further troubleshooting with you as necessary. The E-mail should arrive within 24 hours. I apologize for the inconvenient experience you've faced while using our products. However, thank you very much for your patience.

*If you have any questions regarding shipping, RMA confirmation number, or RMA confirmation email, as well as RMA return status, please send your inquiries directly to the RMA dept at returns@monoprice.com and please include your RMA# in the email as reference. Sorry again for the trouble and hope this helps!

We ordered a pair of these. They were very unstable on screen. We could set both controllers on a coffee table, motionless, and watch the display on screen bounce around 3 to 4inches. One controller came without the wristband.

Monoprice replaced the two faulty controllers without any hassles and I appreciated that. I have NEVER had to return anything before as the gear here typically does just what it says and sometimes it performs much better.

I received the two replacement controllers. They both failed in a different way. The two replacements turn on, sync, then the units power down after about 30-60 seconds. It happens in the middle of play over and over and over again with new batteries. Very frustrating. The game stops and displays the "Lost Communication" error message each time either controller drops out. 0 for 4. This product is junk and I learned my lesson not to buy this type of item from Monoprice again. There is no chance I received the only four bad ones. Monoprice has to know this product has an unacceptable failure rate but they choose to keep it online. Must be a decent profit margin.

I will request a refund on these last two and keep buying my usual cables and accessories here.

by Monoprice AdministratorHello Steve,

Thank you for your review and my apologies for the issues you have experienced with PID 5981. A shame these didn't work out for your needs.. Now if you haven't done so already, I can help setup an RMA for a return. If you would like me to proceed with the RMA, all I would need is the order # these controllers are under. Sorry again for the trouble and thanks in advance!

I bought this as an alternative to an OEM controller from Nintendo. I am new to Wii and was disappointed to find that a new unit only comes with one controller. So, I looked to my good friends at monoprice for a cheaper alternative controller.

The controller has worked as promised, unfortunately most of my games require the Motionplus option. Apparently Wii made some changes to the controller over the years and called it MotionPlus. The monoprice controller is a standard unit. You can purchase an additional MotionPlus adapter but when you factor that cost in, you might as well buy the OEM controller from Nintendo.

Oh well, lesson learned.

IF you only require basic controller function, this controller will most certainly suffice. Not a knock to Monoprice, just a ding to myself for not doing all of my research.

Jittery, unusable

Pros: Sound and vibration work like you'd expect.

Cons: Input to the Wii is jittery and unstable.

This controller is not that much cheaper than a Wii original. Unusually poor deal compared to what we are used to seeing from Monoprice. The controller is jittery. If you set it on the table and point it dead center on the TV screen, it bounces around a few inches all by itself. Unusable for all shooting games, Raving Rabbids, Dance Party and others. I bought two contollers. Both exhibit this behavior. I will ask to swap for two more to see if it is a bad product, or just two bad controllers I received.
